Massive win. Back in the 8

Just what we needed with North Melbourne to come and then the bye where hopefully we get our experienced players back to launch ourselves for the back half of the year.

Many good performers today, but great to see Kreuger present as a viable forward option and kick some nice goals. Very pleased for him. Hoskin-Elliott was excellent on his return as well.

Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious with Nick following his substitution.

A much needed win! Percentage booster as well. Excellent arm wrestle today.

Best coach in the history of the game - how did he manage a strategy to win that game with that personnel. Just remarkable. And magnificent buy-in, too.

[Haff]

Solid win. Not many complaints.
They were onto more in the first half but couldn’t kick straight. Opposite in the second but we did kick straight.
14.4 very happy.
Is this the first game Krueger has gotten through?
Hopefully no break or anything for Nick.

Physicality wins games and that was a great example. Freddy presented all day and will get better from the experience. Nick was BOG until they took him off. If the Demons didn't have Gawn we would have won by 10 plus goals.

Special mention to my mate's Grandson, Charlie Dean. He just keeps improving.

Wow great Kruger did well and not injured
Be interesting to see him and Checkers play together
Hope Daicos is ok
No passengers Frampton did better in fwd line

One of the comms just after the siren (think BT): "The Pies are roaring up the ladder" !!!

Thanks Magpies, for putting some sunshine into a very sad day. This morning, my beloved Boxer doggie boy, Tyson, passed away, after a brief illness, he was 12 yrs old. I laid him to rest next to his bro, Oscar, his best buddy. This great victory so undermanned, against all odds, is just the tonic I needed. Thank you Collingwood.

Great game Maggies...
Enjoyed that, especially the 4th quarter without feeling the usual rise in cortisol.
Krueger was a great effort.
When Kreuger goes for a mark, players stand back or get crunched.
He will kick 5 goals in a game soon, maybe vs North next week?

Yes no passenger’s that’s a fact —I’m so encouraged by the young guys who come in and begin to flour

Harvey H goes from strength to strength

And a word for Charlie Dean. He had also built into a competent part of the back six

McCrae was very good but still needs an AFL tank

Krueger, McStay and Checkers would make an interesting rotation in the forward line.
